SHIELDS History

The year was 1961 when Wade Shields arrived in Knoxville, TN. He was eighteen years old and fresh out of high school. In his words it was simple; if he wanted to eat that night he had to sell something that day. And so he went to work, out of the back of his truck. He started by selling parts to the radio and television repair shops in town. Gradually, he built the business to a point where a storefront was sustainable. As the business grew so did the markets he serviced; antennas, fuses, CB radios, PA systems, wire & cable, and more. He built a name for himself as someone who was honest, hardworking, and reliable. Based on his performance customers began to approach him with other opportunities, and the business continued to develop and grow.

Over 50 years later it's the same model. Work hard for your customers, earn their trust, and deliver on your commitments. Over the past 50 years the business, markets, manufacturers, and customers have changed to be sure. But our dedication to performance and delivering exceptional value still remain. Wade Shields is still active in the company, and the philosophy and dedication that built the company are still the cornerstones for everything we do. As we look forward to serving you for another 50 years we understand we didn't do it alone. We have been blessed with exceptional customers, manufacturers, and friends. The Lord our God has also watched over us every day of the journey. It is with great humility that we say Thank You.
